Washington vs Florida: prediction for the NHL game

Throughout the season, Washington had problems on defense, and they were especially apparent in the last game against the Panthers. After losing in a bitter struggle (2:3 OT) at home, the Capitals were defeated (3:5) at Florida. In that last game, the Capitals were leading 3:0, but could not maintain that advantage.

The team gives too much space to the opponent and is a bit too slow on defense. As a rule, if Washington concede over two goals, they cannot win. Peter Laviolette has to find a way to improve the defensive performance of his team.
